OC practice paused

The study they produced also was from schools that followed "strict" protocols. Temperatures taken of every student before stepping on school grounds, then again before entering classroom, physical distancing in class, masks all day, all staff temperature checked and tested frequently, hand washing several times a day. Fast testing and tracing. Stringent sanitizing of all surfaces in the school. Imagine our schools now and the non compliance of students and lack of self discipline. Sadly the results would not be the same.

Question, how frequently are all the players and coaches tested? After each practice, after each scrimmage, or once a week, once every two weeks? Since children, particularly young children can have covid but be asymptomatic, how do you know they haven't transmitted it to someone in the community or someone in their family who is also asymptomatic, then they pass it on to someone outside the family. If the players and coaches are tested on a regular basis, who pays for it, the club or the family? Or is no one being tested?
Hmmm, interesting, I see a lot of masks being worn in everyday in the OC.
You don't have to wind up in the hospital to have the virus and pass it on. Many, many people are asymptomatic.
Those aren't the testing guidelines recommended by the State of California or the CDC even for schools. In San Diego where youth practices are allowed you can't get a test unless you are showing symptoms or have significant evidence of exposure to a infected individual. It would be irresponsible of any individual that has contact with others to get a test on a whim without symptoms. The processing is already overwhelmed as it is and should be saved for those with actual symptoms. Going on 6 weeks of youth practices in San Diego with no evidence of infection or transmission from these activities. Your fear is unjustified.
Nobody is being tested unless there is a suspicion of sickness. But everyone is supposed to do a symptom and temperature check prior to leaving the house for any session and if suspected of any exposure in their life must quarantine.
There have been zero documented, suspected, or rumored player to player transmissions between the thousands of players at the thousands of practices that have happened these past few months in a community that isn't doing a great job of containing the virus.
One team I know of last week had a player who was possibly exposed at a day camp, so the whole team pulled out of a tournament as a precaution. So it isn't being transmitted in the community via contact on an outdoor soccer field.
It looks like schools are wisely going to be closed here with remote learning until at least October at the earliest. Good. That's smart. Indoor continuous contact is what is fueling the spread of Covid.
But as long as people and clubs are responsible and err on the side of caution like that team I just mentioned, and as long as outdoor intermittent contact via the game of soccer remains an extremely unlikely method of transmission, I see no reason why soccer won't continue to be played.
Distanced or contact in SD?
The guidelines are for distanced.
Yet OC teams are training out in the open in the OC???? I don't get it I really don't...

Unaffordable housing. Record homelessness. Rising crime. Failing schools. Locked down population while the prisons are emptied. Governor Newsom has failed!

Let’s help bring youth soccer back. Let’s recall Gavin Newsom. He needs to open the parks in CA. Sign...
When we picked back up in May they were socially distanced sessions. June and July have been normal training sessions and scrimmages (but with common sense restrictions for off-the-pitch social distancing when players are on the bench or getting water or arriving /departing, plus the limitations on any spectators).

Supposed to be distanced but some clubs with their own facilities are doing things like there was never Covid. It is a mixed bag in SD.
It’s just a “clinic” in Oceanside. Maybe they are keeping their distance.
I like the quote about what to do when “no one is watching”. Like today at their clinic. Nobody is allowed to watch.
Serious question- if your club is following the rules, would you move to a club like this so your kid could play?

I would not, but that probably surprises no one.
The picture on the right is in reference to a new coach at the club. Do not combine it with something unrelated. The club was highlighting her career and her many accomplishments and this post by her was to inspire players to give their most even when practicing alone, running or where ever or when ever you train to be the best possible player that you can be. Don't just give 100%, give 110%! Don't misconstrue the purpose of the post.

To a club breaking the rules? No. However, I am willing to go to a place where the rules allow it assuming that I deem it safe. I'm guessing places like TX and AZ will reach Cuomo's "Sun on the other side" level of immunity in the next month or so. Assuming that happens, I'd definitely have her play there assuming we are still shut down.
